What to Do When Something Feels Wrong Online

Sometimes when you are using a device, something might pop up, appear, or happen that makes you feel uncomfortable, scared, confused, or uneasy. That feeling in your stomach is important — it is your body telling you something is not right here. You do not need to understand exactly why something is wrong. If it feels wrong, it is time to act.
